Through the years, WKBW-TV changed ownership and location. In 1960, Capital Cities Communications purchased the station. It became a cornerstone for a company that would later acquire the ABC television network before selling that to the Walt Disney Company. In 1978, the station moved from Main Street to the current facility near Buffalo's waterfront, at 7 Broadcast Plaza (Church and South Elmwood Sts.). Even though the present building is 30 years old, it still stands as a modern fixture in the city landscape with silver reflective panels. In 1986, J. Bruce Llewellyn acquired the station and operated it under Queen City Broadcasting until 1995, when Granite Broadcasting, Inc. took control. Granite, under the direction of CEO W. Don Cornwell. In 2014, the station was acquired by the prestigious E.W. Scripps Company, which has been a guiding light in journalism since being founded by Edward Willis Scripps in 1922. AM Buffalo is one of the longest running and most successful locally produced programs in the country. The 10 a.m. hour offers a mix of information, entertainment, recipes, and product demonstrations, including live and taped reports from all over the community with interesting people, places, and events. The program began with hosts Brian Kahle and Nancy Foreman, and continues with Linda Pellegrino, and reporter/co-host Jon Summers.
